University of Central Arkansas senior Julia Roth is the 2012-13 Southland Conference Women’s Golfer of the Year after a vote of the league’s head coaches and sports information directors.

Roth is the third UCA golfer to be named Golfer of the Year, joining Rebecca Sorensen (2010) and Nicole Forshner (2008, 2009). A native of Karlskrona, Sweden, Roth is a three-time all-conference selection and joins Forshner as the only UCA players to earn first-team all-conference honors twice.

The senior earned a second-place finish on four different occasions and was the first golfer in Southland history to be named Golfer of the Month four times in one season.

The Hendrix College Warrior Booster Club will host its annual golf tournament on Monday, May 6, at Centennial Valley Golf Club. The tournament will be a four-person scramble with the proceeds benefiting the Warrior Booster Club .
